New adult learner-start sinking after first breadth
Former Member
Hi all,
I just started learning how to swim recently as an adult. I couldn't move while kicking and after searching online I found this forum and it really helped :applaud: thank you so much. I can now move, very slowly. I followed the youtube series here www.youtube.com/watch. But now I face next issue:
In the last step, when I come up for air and come down I start sinking and stop moving, etc. Everything falls apart.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
yes, practice at the wall. The guy in the video isn't lifting his head that much, but newbies tend to lift a lot and stop kicking, so they lose propulsion while making their body sink. I have done this when learning to swim and I overcame it by learning to breath bilaterally.
